‘Law & Order’ Veteran Alana De La Garza Cast In NBC Drama Pilot ‘Do No Harm’

COMMENTS (11)

• I think NBC should have given ‘Law & Order: LA’ another chance seriously. Alana de la Garza helped save that show compared to the first two ladies cast in the show (Meg Boone & Regina Hall). The show was better after it’s retool and NBC canceled it after they screwed it over with the Monday timeslot. I wish her luck, but in the same token I wish it would flop like NBC’s other programming. Alana belongs in the Law & Order world. Wish she had a role on ‘Law & Order: SVU’, Linus Roache does!

  • I could not agree more. Though I am very glad to see Linus Roache popping up on SVU. The two of them together were a great pair. And now that Meloni is gone (and Hargitay is on auto-pilot,) it would have been great to see Linus and Alana become regulars. In my humble opinion, Law & Order had finally regained its footing (though obviously not its numbers) when it was cancelled. And the once great SVU has become as preposterous as an episode of Nip/Tuck. The earlier episodes were very smart and engaging. Now, each and every week is a more over-the-top special guest star whoring for an Emmy. Not every crime in NY is committed by an incestuous state senator who is planning to set off a dirty bomb for al queda.

• I agree with Arnold. Alana is a talented actress and she did a lot for the original L&O. She helped me enjoy LOLA considerably. NBC wanted Wolf’s show fail, why else would they move the show like that when it performed quite well on Wednesday night? I don’t like the network anymore. I am anxious for Alana. NBC doesn’t have the best track record. Only two dramas so far have survived (though mostly sitcoms were ordered). Alana does belong in the L&O universe, but she also deserves to be a lead role. I love Alana and I hope this show pulls through. If not, I hope Wolf can help her out.

• She’s fantastic. I would never wish for anything to flop. Don’t really get the reasoning behind that. I do think NBC made a mistake getting rid of Law and Order but at the same time, I’m actually glad to see her doing something outside of that world.

  • Same here. When they decided not to break the record by airing just one more season of Law & Order is when I began to question NBC’s decisions. Since that time, the majority of those decisions have been awful, hence why they’re always in last place.

    • NBC’s downfall started the moment they gave Leno his own show at ten pm. All other shows suffered as a result.

• I enjoy her series L and O (LA,too) in Japan now. De La Garza is so nice that I got angry that she banged a convicted lawyer in season 20. I shared sadness with her partner.

• Good news for Alana but who play Jeffrey Kohn. Need a name? Maybe Linus Roache could play it. He defenetly have a chemistry with Alana….

• Alana would not only be good in a leading role but shes pretty good to look at to.
